Touring the Shangri La estate, Doris Duke’s former home in Honolulu’s Black Point neighborhood, offers a rich opportunity to experience the museum’s historical artifacts, culture and beauty. Add a musical performance, and you’re likely in for a special treat.
The Reminders, a husband-and-wife duo blending hip-hop, soul and roots music into moving performances, will present two evening events at the estate as the Shangri La, Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design’s artists in residence from Tuesday to June 7. The museum regularly hosts artists and scholars whose works are tied to Islamic arts and cultures.
The events:
>> June 4, 5-7 p.m. The Reminders lead an intimate tour of Shangri La that reimagines the museum. Cost: $15
>> June 6, 6-8 p.m. A musical performance by the duo celebrates Eid, marking the end of Ramadan. Cost: $25
Tickets will be released Thursday at shangrilahawaii.org. Evening events tend to sell out quickly: Set a reminder (pun intended) on your phone, so you don’t miss out.
